More Cruelty Free Dupes for MAC Colors from NYX Cosmetics

As I know that there are many MAC shades that people love, I compiled another list of dupes. I’ve also got swatches of just about my entire NYX collection for you. All of these shades are swatched on Meow Light Primer.

If you like MAC Vellum, try NYX Opal.
If you like MAC Rose Blanc, try NYX High Light
If you like MAC Humid, try NYX Mermaid Green.
If you like MAC Satin Taupe, try NYX Iced Mocha.
If you like MAC Cranberry, try NYX Rust.
If you like MAC Steamy, try NYX Jungle Fever.
If you like MAC Swish, try NYX Spring Flower.
If you like MAC Aquadisiac, try NYX Jade.
If you like MAC Twinks, try NYX Walnut Bronze.
If you like MAC Golden Olive Pigment, try NYX Ultra Pearl Mania in Lime.
If you like MAC Electra, try NYX Silver.
If you like MAC Ricepaper, try NYX Frosted Flake.
If you like MAC Woodwinked, try NYX Deep Bronze.
If you like MAC Solar White, try NYX Barely There.
If you like MAC Mythology, try NYX Jazzy Bronze.
If you like MAC Expensive Pink, try NYX Wildflower.
If you like MAC Lucky Green, try NYX Lime Green.
If you like MAC Viz a Violet pigment, try NYX Ultra Pearl Mania Purple.
If you like MAC Stars n’ Rockets, try NYX Luxor.
If you like MAC Parfait Amour, try NYX Luxor.

MAC Vellum was a long time favorite of mine. Once I hit pan on it, I went looking for dupes. NYX Opal is very close. While I never had the pleasure of owning MAC Smoke and Diamonds, I do find Eucalyptus to be lovely, especially if you’re a taupe fiend. I love Snow Candy.

How could you not like Red Pink? Super bright! Purple and Deep Purple both need a little extra TLC to get them to opacity.

Charcoal Brown is a great warm brown-grey crease color. Smoked Mountain is sort of like a blackened olive. Lots of fun. Very Pink Pearl is nice. All of the pearls seem to have good color payoff.

I always think Sunny Day is not aptly named, because it’s pink. Extreme Apricot is fierce. Hot Orange has fun gold glitter.

I can see why Atlantic Blue and Kiss in Casablanca are favorites. I like Turquoise Pearl. Orange Zest Pearl is a fun way to try out orange because it leans a bit peach and it’s not a loud bright shade.

Hi Melody,
I own MAC Vellum & Nyx Opal, so I can swatch those side by side for you.
I think I have MAC Swish, Aquadisiac, Viz a Violet, Lucky Green, Stars n’ Rockets and Parfait Amour. I don’t own the corresponding Nyx shades, but I will see if I can get my hands on them!
